Equipment

  • 1 Muffin or cupcakes tin

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g skinless salmon, diced
  • 1 tbsp Kewpie mayo
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • Nori seaweed sheets, cut to fit your muffin tin
  • 200 g cooked steamed rice preferably sushi rice or short-grain rice
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • Chilli mayo, for drizzling
  • Sesame seeds and chopped spring onion, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine the diced salmon with Kewpie mayo, sriracha, and soy sauce. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Cook the rice using your preferred method. While the rice is still warm, stir in the vinegar and sugar mixture (tip: warm the vinegar slightly to help dissolve the sugar more easily).
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
  • Spoon and spread a layer of rice onto each piece of nori, then gently press the rice-covered nori into the muffin tin to form a cup shape.
  • Top each rice cup with a generous spoonful of the marinated salmon.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for around 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
  • Once out of the oven, drizzle with chilli mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped spring onion. Serve warm and enjoy!
